[Verse 1]
Bbm
Virginia was a "lot lizard" from F. L. A
F7
She had a compound fracture in the "trunk"
Bbm
It started when she ran away
Eb Ebm7
Thumbs out on the interstate
F7
She hitched a ride to misery
Bbm
"Mr.
Whirly" had a catastrophic incident
F7
He fell into the city by the bay
Bbm
He liquidated his estate
Eb Ebm7
Now he sleeps upon the Haight
F7
Panhandling misery
Bbm F7
And he's gonna get high, high, high
[Chorus]
Bbm
When he's low, low, low
F7 Bbm
The fire burns from better days
F7
And she screams "why, oh, why?"
Bbm
I said I don't know
Eb Gb F7
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Bbm
Of misery
[Verse 2]
Well,
Bbm
Vinnie was a hustler out of Amsterdam
F7
He ran the drug cartel in "Tinseltown"
Bbm
They found him in a Cadillac
Ebm Ebm7 F7
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat in the name
Of misery
Bbm
Then Gina hit the road to New York City
F7
Mysteriously the night Vinnie croaked
Bbm
She stopped in Vegas to elope
Eb Ebm7
With Virginia and the dope
F7
That kissed the bride eternally
Bbm F7
And he's gonna get high, high, high
[Chorus]
Bbm
When he's low, low, low
F7 Bbm
The fire burns from better days
F7
And she screams "why, oh, why?"
Bbm
I said I don't know
Eb Gb F7
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday
Bbm
Of misery
[Interlude]
Ebm F7 Bbm
Well, hell hounds on your trail now once again,
boy
Ebm F7 Bbm
It's groping on your leg until it sleeps
Ebm F7 Bbm
The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow
Gb
Cause it's not what you make,
F7 Bbm
it's what you leave
